Sleeves and Stars

It’s one of those nights sleep doesn’t seem likely One of those nights I wonder what this is All I can think About. you in my arms. but you don’t feel the same way about those moments. I still feel your lips, our kiss. I know that moment was truth wasn’t it The way you held onto my sleeves. Feeling your whole body tense and then relax Exhale and relax

The way you held on to my sleeves. How you fell into my embrace. Vehemently pressing your soft lips to mine.

We were alone in the sky On a cloudy night Unable to see the world through The cotton blanket of clouds It didn’t exist So we turned our gaze upwards You stared into the stars Only, I brought my gaze down. There was nothing in Heaven so precious or Beautiful as what I had managed to hold in my arms
